I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World - Chapter 774

Chapter 774: Chapter 405: The Powerful Person Who Disappeared in Ancient Times_2

“Ever since the last time the Spatial Channel was opened, those people have used it to enter the game and since then, we’ve been separated. Now, how many Keys those people have found, nobody knows.”

To search for additional Keys with the use of one Key?

Could it be that those people went to the Sky Sea Abyss merely to use the Space Rifts to travel to other States in search of other Keys?

Su Nan considered one possibility.

“If that’s the case, then nothing could be better, as long as those people haven’t tampered with the Space Rifts.”

Nine Heavenly Gate Keys, he had already obtained four, two of which were rewards for ranking first in the game, the other two acquired by chance.

Out of the nine keys, he already had nearly half.

Unfortunately, the last Twelve Zodiac reward did not give a Heavenly Gate Key.

But this was enough.

It was impossible to collect all nine Keys relying on game rewards, even if the Night Patrol somehow found the remaining five Keys it wouldn’t matter, they would eventually have to come to him.

The reason they haven’t come yet might be because of the Game’s Personal Space, which likely prevents the Night Patrol’s Secret Techniques from being effective.

“It seems that the Formation must have been set up by the Night Patrol for crossing the Space Rifts safely, those people have a way to get through the Space Rifts without harm!”

“Since the Night Patrol has a safe method of passage, does Luo Yu know about it?” he thought about Luo Yu, who he controlled.

Luo Yu was still at the Peak King-level, the reason he had kept Luo Yu until now was that he knew many things about Ancient Times, which could come in handy at a crucial moment.

Although he had examined Luo Yu’s memories when the God Soul Seed reached Great Accomplishment, for a demon beast that had lived ten thousand years, its memories were too vast, and he couldn’t possibly review them all.

Moreover, the memories viewed through the God Soul Seed had many gaps.

With these thoughts, he made some plans.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Su Nan returned to Song Mountain and went back into the game.

At this moment, Avatar Wang Nan had just arrived at the Sky Sea Abyss as well.

The huge gorge stretched straight ahead, cutting through mountains and rivers, cleaving the earth open into an abyss with no visible bottom,

Such a spectacle was unimaginable in reality, entering the gully, Avatar Wang Nan headed straight for the deepest part of the rift.

An hour later, he saw the corpse of Jiang Wen, which he had foreseen.

The body had many fatal wounds, as if pierced by ten thousand swords, a tragic sight to behold.

Su Nan shook his head, not expecting that the first Night Patrol he had met would end up dead and unattended.

With a wave of his hand, a ball of Flame fell on the corpse. The fire burned, and within a breath, the body was reduced to ashes.

He continued onward.

This place, one of the forbidden lands of Dongchen State, was fraught with danger, the Power of Space was chaotic, with blades formed of spatial forces erupting like storms out of nowhere.

An ordinary King-level Powerhouse encountering this would almost certainly die, only those at Emperor-level could possibly use their domain, formed from the Power of Heaven and Earth, to counter the storm.

Avatar Wang Nan had no domain, but his Strength was sufficient.

Even in his foreknowledge, his True Body could safely reach this Deep place, not to mention his Avatar, forged from Divine metal, had physical resilience and healing capabilities far surpassing his True Body.

Soon, Avatar Wang Nan arrived at the deepest part of the Sky Sea Abyss and saw the Space Rift and several more corpses of Night Patrol members.

This was a massive Underground Space, and at its center stood the Space Rift.

He had never seen anything so bizarre; the Space Rift was two to three meters high, narrow at the ends and wide in the middle, resembling a giant upright eye.

Here, the space was extremely chaotic; the Space Rift was like a gaping mouth, sporadically spewing out spatial blades.

Ignoring the surrounding corpses, he summoned Luo Yu.

“Do you have a way to safely pass through this Space Rift?”

“A Space Rift?” Luo Yu looked at the eye-like rift before him and immediately connected the dots, “Is this the Sky Sea Abyss?”

“Do you know?” Su Nan’s eyes lit up.

Luo Yu nodded and said, “The Sky Sea Abyss has existed for a long time, and on the surface, it was formed by the clash of two god-level powerhouses from the Human clan. But many people speculate that it was intentionally created by the Human clan.”

“As for the purpose, some guess it was to open a passage to a certain space.”

As he spoke, he furrowed his brows and said, “It’s strange, how has this rift remained for so long without closing up?”

“Intentionally created?”

Su Nan was surprised; he hadn’t expected to learn such a secret from Luo Yu.

When he thought back to the information from his previous foreknowledge, this possibility seemed not to be unfounded.

If that really was the case, then what existence could be maintaining this space rift?

With this thought, he asked, “Do you know that this space rift has persisted for ten thousand years because there is an unknown existence maintaining it?”

“An unknown existence maintaining it?” This time it was Luo Yu’s turn to frown, clearly not having considered this reason before.

Although he didn’t know how Su Nan came to know this, he didn’t doubt him and thought for a moment before saying, “Could it be those powerhouses from the Ancient Human Clan?”

Su Nan shook his head and said, “After Ancient Times, with no Heavenly and Earthly vitality, all the human experts died off. Who would still be here to maintain it?”

However, upon hearing this, Luo Yu asked back, “Who said the powerhouses of the Ancient Human Clan have all died off?”

“Oh? They haven’t?” Su Nan’s heart tightened.

Luo Yu said, “Those Saint-level Demon Emperors from your Twelve States haven’t died, the Ancient Human Clan had powerhouses as numerous as the clouds, including god-level and even above the god level. How could they all die just because the Heavenly and Earthly vitality was severed?”

Su Nan was astonished; he hadn’t expected Luo Yu to say that.

But upon careful consideration, what Luo Yu said didn’t seem to have any problems.

Since even the Saint-level among The Twelve Demon Emperors, who have survived from Ancient Times, haven’t died, it appeared even less likely for the stronger beings of god-level or above to have passed away.

With this thought, Su Nan instantly became unsettled.

“If the powerhouses of the Ancient Human Clan haven’t all died off, then where have they gone?”

He had never before considered this issue, as the death of the powerhouses of the Ancient Human Clan was an acknowledged fact, and no one questioned it.

Now, suddenly being informed that the powerhouses of the Ancient Human Clan might not all be dead, the impact on him was immense.

Luo Yu continued, “Not only that, some of the demon clan’s powerhouses probably haven’t died either. As to where they all went, I am not aware.”

“I was suppressed a long time ago. Whatever happened at the end of Ancient Times, I’m afraid only those who experienced it then would know.”

He paused for a moment, then as if thinking of something, added, “To my knowledge, the severance of the Heavenly and Earthly vitality was intentionally done by your human experts. As for the purpose, that remains unknown.”

“But I am certain it was planned, and your Human clan had been plotting it for a long time.”

Su Nan nodded. Regarding this, he had already discovered the secrets within from the prophecies when he was in the Land of the Lost, using the Ancient God Tomb.

The human experts back then severed the connection to the Heavenly and Earthly vitality to buy time for the maturation of that Supreme Treasure that created the game.

With this realization, many pieces of information collided in his mind, and in an instant, Su Nan vaguely understood something.

“Even if those Ancient powerhouses severed the Heavenly and Earthly vitality to delay the coming of the fourth apocalypse, they wouldn’t do so at the cost of total self-sacrifice.”

“With the severance of the Heavenly and Earthly vitality, the path to cultivation was cut off. If it were one person, sacrificing themselves decisively for the sake of others, it could be a possibility, that person would be a saint.”

“However, something like severing the Heavenly and Earthly vitality certainly couldn’t be decided or accomplished by just one or two individuals.”

He hadn’t thought about this issue before, but now, giving it thought, he realized the problem within.

Suddenly, recalling Luo Yu’s words and conceiving a possibility, he looked toward the space rift and said:

“If this spatial rift is truly maintained by those powerhouses of the Ancient Human Clan, could it be possible, as rumors say, that this spatial rift was intentionally created by those powerhouses of the Ancient Human Clan?”

“Those human powerhouses could have traveled through this space rift to another space!”

This speculation was no less bold.

If he was wrong, so be it, but if it was true, it would mean that one day, those vanished powerhouses from ancient times may appear again!
